Imperial Army

The Imperial Army, usually simply called the Heer or the Army, is the Land Arm of the Imperial Armed Forces and the core of all military capabilities the Imperial Armed Forces have.

With a total manpower of roundabout 550,000 officers and men, the Imperial Army is the largest part of the Imperial Armed Forces. Not counted into that number are the men under compulsory military service, which sees them for two years in the Army's direct services, after which the soldier is a reservist for fifteen years. The only ways of not being part of the compulsory service are being a woman, invalided out or volunteering for the Navy, the Territorialheer or the Imperial Civil Service.

The Territorialheer is not part of the Army, but is placed under the Army's Command in case of a foreign invasion.
